GRANGE MINSTRELS HAVE NEW OVERTURE Furnish Program at Socisty's Anmversary Gelebration WANTS NO GONSERYATOR First Batch of War Census Reports Dispatched—Frank Gafferty Thinks He should Be Allowed to Handle His Own Affairs—Other Matters. Entertaining delegations from other towns, the local Grange last evening celebrated the twenty-seventh anni- versary of its institution following its regular bi-monthly meeting in Grange hall. The affair was one of the most enjoyable gatherings held under grange auspices in a long time and the members in attendance and thel guests spent a most pleasant evening. After the business sessior the Grange minstrel opened the festivities of the evening with an overture, the songs and jokes meaking a most fa- vorable impression on the audience. T. H. Lyman served as interlocutor and O. W. Robertson and ~Frank White held down the end men positions. The talent also included Miss Rose Mor- row, Miss Bessie Loomis, M Tdla Daniels and Harold L. Newell. The overture was greatly enjoyed and the soloists favored with encores in re- sponse to the applause which greeted their respective numbers. Contributing to the program were Herbert L. Dow, who entertained with a monologue; Miss Helen Day, who gave a plano solo and Mrs. S. B. Car- penter, whose recitatlon was one of the most interesting parts of the en- tertainment. The old members of the organization were made the guests of honor during the evening and special attention was pald to their entertainment. The anniversary celebration will be recorded in the annals of the Plain- ville grange as one of its memorable sessions and the committee of ar- rangements is deserving of consider- able praise for its successful efforts. Make Census Report. First Selectman Johnson today for- warded to the war census department in Hartford the first batch of blanks secured in connection with the special military enrollment ordered by the legislature. In the factories a canvass of the employes is being made and the first lot of reports turned over to the selectmen contained a number of names and the Information desired regarding their owners. Some of the citizens and other male inhabitants, whose names should be included in the list, will probably be overlooked In the general census and those not approached by the canvas- sers should show their interest in the move by securing a hlank, and with the questions answered, turning It over to the town clerk or selectmen. Among the first to file a report was Town Clerk R. C. Usher, whose name and war biography was included in the list sent to Hartford today. Although he can’t swim, run an auto:nobile, a power boat, electrical machine or en- gine and has no know.edge of telegra- phy or wireless, the versrable keeper of records reports that he can ride a horse, “if the animaf 1s steady,” and while he has no physi:al disabilities he “can’t run quite so fast or so far as he could at one time.” Mr. Usher gives his name as Robert Cleveland Usher and hie address as 15 Farmington avenue, Plainville. He ad- mits having a little experence in manufacturing and farming. His age is 75 vears and 10 months. He is five feet ten and one-half inches high and weighs 150 pounds. He is married and has but a wife as dependent. He is a native of Connecticut and served for nearly three vears as a private and sergeant major in tha Civil war, being a member of the infantry on Sher- man’s march. Other prominent citizens have come forward in giving their records for use in the compilation of Connecticut’s war strength and the selectman report little trouble has thus far been ex- perienced in getting the required in- formation. Seed Potatoes Scarce. Displaying good judgment in hold- ing part of last fall's crop of potatoes, instead of succumbing to the lure of the diamond prices offered for the tu- bers, Scott Swamp farmers will be able to do -their planting this spring with- out mortgaging their places to get the wherewithal to purchase seed from the speculators. As has been their custom for a long time the farmers pooled their inter- ests early in the fall, ordering a car- load of potatoes to be divided among them for use in planting this spring. First Selectman Johnson, who act- ed as thelr agent in flling the order, has now been advised that the seed shippers have decided to get their share of the Ilucre in circulation through the efforts of Mr. High-Cost- of-Living and the potatoes will not be delivered unless the farmers agree to pay an.extra dollar over the original quotation for each bag in the car. Rather than submit to what they term a ‘*hold-up”, the farmers have decided to cancel the order and they will use their own potafoes for sced. They have saved enough of last year's crop to satisfy their wants, having re- fused fancy offers to dispose of the entire harvest that they might not be left entirely at the mercy of specula- tors. ®eep Tax Bills Separate. While the town meeting which au- thori the erection of a four room addition to the Broad street school house gave no instructions as to how the special tax laid to raise part of the money required fbr the improve- ment, shoula be collected, it has heen decided to have separate bills made 1624 | OutL for the extra four mills which TH H AR’I‘FORD SIL| STORE C.S.

Postmaster Prior has been advised that the National Mail Order Broker- age Exchange, whose advertisements have deceived Plainville people as well as inhabitants of other parts of the country, is a fraudulent corpora- tion. Tts offices in Minneapolis were closed some months ago by the de- partment of justice. Nevertheless answers to their advertisements to send a skirt free to gny woman who will write to six of her friends tell- ing them atout the company and its merchandise continue to be sent through the mails.

WILD DUCKS IN CUSTODY. Thippss Game Preserve Island Ralded. New York, Feb. 21.—Agents of the state conservation commission have in their custody today 450 live ducks captured in a rald on the game pre- serve of Henry Carnegie Phipps Wantagh, Long Island. They allege that the ducks were trapped in viola- tion of the law and that Mr. Phipps faced a possible fine of $15,315 or a civil suit, Mr. Phipps holds a license to breed domesticated black and mallard ducks, but the conservation commis- slon officials assert that the ducks seized were caught in a big wire cage on a small creek which runs through the Phipps estate into Great South Bay. on Long ELEVATOR FALLS SIX STORIES INTO CELLAR Twenty Men and Women Injured When Cage Is Crowded Be- yond Capacity.
